5:30am to 90 minutes before scheduled departure time of last flight of the day

Notes:

To check in for codeshare flights at In-Town Check-In, passengers should proceed to the operating carrier’s counters for assistance.

To comply with the requirements from the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), we cannot issue a boarding pass to a passenger departing for US destination more than 24 hours prior to scheduled flight departure time.

To check in for US-bound flights at In-Town Check-In counter, passengers can only do so within 24 hours prior to flight departure.

In the interest of airline safety, Cathay Pacific has implemented a pilot scheme to conduct an additional check on passengers’ check-in baggage for dangerous goods items (or lithium battery) at Hong Kong International Airport for flights destined for Karachi. As a result, passengers for Cathay Pacific flight CX703 are restricted from using In-Town Check-In at Hong Kong and Kowloon Stations of the Airport Express Line.

At Shenzhen International Airport

You can check in and have your boarding pass issued at Shenzhen International Airport (SZIA) for flights departing from Hong Kong, before taking cross-boundary land transport to Hong Kong International Airport.

Upon arrival at the airport in Hong Kong, if you have baggage to check in, you can go to the Self Check-In Bag Drop Counter. Without check-in baggage, you can proceed straight through to Immigration, speeding up the process of getting to your flight.

Passengers departing from Shenzhen will need to arrive at SZIA at least 180 minutes before the scheduled departure time of their flight at Hong Kong International Airport.
